On New Years Eve a terrible car accident occured near Truro. The family involved are one of the most hard working and supportive families I have ever met. The Taylor family are known not only through the cornish equestrian community but also the football community too.

On New years eve Shelly, Caitlin and Tarryn were involved in a life threatening car accident. Caitlin is incredibly bruised and battered but was able to leave the hospital last night (Friday) however devoted Wife and Mum Shelly was transferred to Derriford with both legs broken incredibly badly and severe concussion, but worse of all 8 year old Tarryn was transfered striaght to Bristol Childrens Hospital with a broken neck where she remains in an induced coma. Dad, Barry is by Tarryn‘s side and a relative is hoping to visit Shelly who is currently all alone in a very fragile state. There is hope for poor Tarryn but she will have an incredibly long road to recovery ahead of her, she is a seriously tough little girl who has never let anything stand in her way before so I know she wont stop fighting now. Tarryn has one of the top Neurologists working on her so we will keep everything crossed for her.

Shelly and Barry have always worked incredibly hard to not only provide for their family but also support their local football and riding clubs with hours and hours of help. As long as I’ve known Shelly she has always had 2 if not 3 jobs on the go as well as being a Mum of 5 along with all the horses and pets. During lockdown Shelly spent her days baking cakes of all kinds and delivering them to people to keep up the moral in her local community.

I have set up this page to raise some money to help the family with their basic needs. Barry will remain with Tarryn and poor Shelly is lying in her hospital bed all alone worrying not only about Tarryn’s condition but feeling hugely concerned about the rest of her family simply functioning whilst neither of them are able to be at home, so the last thing they need to be concerned about is money. If you can please donate to this amazing family, 2020 might have been difficult for everyone but 2021 is going to be a very difficult year for the Taylor‘s.
